Holy Guacamole!!!!


My brother-in-law, sweet man that he is, believes that his gaucamole is better than mine. Here is my recipe for guacamole...and I would wager that my experience with guacamole in Spanish-speaking countries is my automatic trump card, but we will see if this recipe out shines his.


The Best Dang Guacamole Out There

2 ripe avocados (these are the key..but them about 3 or 4 days early you want them to be slightly tender..but
not too mushy...if you are making this for other people and you cut open an avocado with brown spots...throw it out!)
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 small white onion, chopped
1 jalapeño, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
salt and pepper

Slice the avocados in half and pop out the seed (whack it with your knife and pull it out)
Then use a spoon or an avocado peeler to pull the meat out of the shell
Pour the lime juice over the avocado hunks
Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, salt and pepper
Using a knife, roughly chop the avocado hunks while mixing in the other ingredients
Add the chopped tomatoes and mix in with a spoon
Serve with tortilla chips (I really like the jalapeño scoops or the hint of lime chips)

Enjoy :)
